Sympathy Card Using CTMH Geometric Grids Thin Cuts and more CTMH Products

Hello Friends!  I hope you are doing well and finding time to do something you enjoy.  It is a difficult time in the world right now; and so much loss for so many people.  

I created a few Sympathy cards and wanted to share another one here.  It is hard to create these types of cards and even harder to send one when someone dies.  Our neighbor died of COVID and it breaks my heart.  He was a very popular man in our neighborhood and always so happy with a big smile for everyone.  He left behind a sweet, wonderful wife and 2 adult sons.  

I discovered these background dies and really love working with them.  This is one of two that are in a set.  You can find them at CTMH.  I have recently discovered CTMH (Ranger) Distress Oxide inks and really enjoy creating with them.  You can't make a mistake with these inks; which is one reason I love them.  LOL!

  1. I love all the elements on your card and the background makes me think of orange and mango and kiwi sherbet, if there is such a thing. Thank you for sharing with us over at Morgan's ArtWorld. We hope to see you again.

  7. I don't think anyone likes making sympathy cards and it is always so hard to find the right image and sentiment. The colors on your beautiful and they remind me of sherbet! Thank you for playing along with us in the Lavinia World Challenge!

  9. Beautiful Sympathy card Gloria. Hate to hear of your neighbors passing. I just started on a sympathy card tonight. Have two more to make after that and two of those are because of Covid. It's so heartbreaking. Hope you are well. Stay safe my friend.

  10. So sorry to hear the news of your neighbor passing. Such a tough time for so many! Wise to make a few sympathy cards for the stash as they can be tough to make when mourning someone close. I love the background you created here. With the bright colors you could easily make this a birthday card with a change to the sentiment! Thanks for sharing this with us at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge!
